I want to design a MOC digitally. I can do this with ldraw, but are there any drawing programs better than ldraw to make models of LEGO ?
kind regards, Peter

1Why not use the Lego digital designer (ldd.lego.com/nl-nl)? – Nebu Mar 8 '16 at 9:17

@nebu support for this program has been ended. brothers-brick.com/2016/01/21/… – pwghost Mar 8 '16 at 9:55

I've found LDD to be effective under MacOS. – chicks Mar 9 '16 at 4:57
Even though support has ended, the LDD software still works. Alternatively, you mention LDraw but LDraw is only a catalogue and a standard - there are different software packages that allow you to draw on top of the LDraw catalog such as MLCad and LEOCad - have you tried these to see which one works? I use MLCad extensively - it looked daunting at first but the tutorials at http://www.holly-wood.it helped a ton - worth spending a few hours doing those tutorials.
As per @Philo's suggestion: another program worth looking at is LDCad, which promises to be more convenient and more powerful than MLCad or LEOCad.

1I would suggest to give a try to LDCad, also using LDraw parts library, it is MUCH more convenient and powerful than MLCad (and LeoCAD that I used before). melkert.net/LDCad – Philo Mar 8 '16 at 12:28
There is also the google lego building app that you can design lego sets and mocs with.
Here is the link:
hope this helps
